Everyday technology influences what we do, and how we do it. Technologies provide us with indispensable tools that can make our lives easier and can give our businesses a competitive advantage. On the other hand, ignoring or failing to leverage technological innovations has caused the demise of many organizations.

We've created a new category of articles with information on various aspects of business technology. Our articles deal with the technologies that most businesses use, or should be using. We plan on expanding this category to cover technological concepts you need to know. As usual, we avoid unnecessary jargon and theory to give you knowledge you can put to use right away.

Besides the federal tax rate changes, provincial rates for most provinces have also changed as of January 2012. Some provinces change tax rates mid-year which is why we suggest visiting us to download the latest version of the calculator every 6 months. If you use the online version of the payroll tax calculator (which is what we recommend), you don't need to worry about downloading new versions because we update it behind the scenes.
